Mandarin Oriental crowned soccer champs

As expected, it was an evenly played match from the onset. Then Carsten Johannsen one-timed an Adnan Hasanagic feed into the back of the net in the 18th minute, to give the Mandarin a 1-0 lead.
Early in the second half, Arturo Ching scored 2 goals within a span of 6 minutes, the second coming off a beautiful header, to give the Hilton a 2-1 advantage. However with 10 minutes remaining in regulation, Johannsen scored his 2nd goal of the game off a rebound, to notch the game at 2.
Moments later, a Mandarin player picked up his 2nd yellow card of the match, forcing his team to play the remainder of the match a man down, but Richard Brajic and the Mandarin defense held the high flying Hilton squad in check, allowing just 2 shots on goal in both sudden death overtimes to get the game to the penalty kick stage, where they were victorious.
The Mandarin finished the season with a 9-2-1 record, including a 2-1 edge in matches vs, the Hilton this season. In the prior contests, the Hilton was victorious 1-0 early in the season, while Mandarin won the rematch 3-0 two months later.
